Piotr podniósł go ze słowami: Wstań, ja teŝ jestem człowiekiem. Wtedy Piotr przemówił: Przekonuję się, Ŝe Bóg naprawdę nie ma względu na osoby. Ale w kaŝdym narodzie miły jest Mu ten, kto się Go boi i postępuje sprawiedliwie. Kiedy Piotr jeszcze mówił o tym, Duch Święty zstąpił na wszystkich, którzy słuchali nauki. I zdumieli się wierni pochodzenia Ŝydowskiego, którzy przybyli z Piotrem, Ŝe dar Ducha Świętego wylany został takŝe na pogan. Słyszeli bowiem, Ŝe mówią językami i wielbią Boga. Wtedy odezwał się Piotr: KtóŜ moŝe odmówić chrztu tym, którzy otrzymali Ducha Świętego tak samo jak my? I rozkazał ochrzcić ich w imię Jezusa Chrystusa. Potem uprosili go, aby zabawił [u nich] jeszcze kilka dni. READINGS Sixth Sunday of Easter Reading 1 Acts 10:25-26, 34-35, When Peter entered, Cornelius met him and, falling at his feet, paid him homage. Peter, however, raised him up, saying, "Get up. I myself am also a human being." Then Peter proceeded to speak and said, "In truth, I see that God shows no partiality. Rather, in every nation whoever fears him and acts uprightly is acceptable to him." While Peter was still speaking these things, the Holy Spirit fell upon all who were listening to the word. The circumcised believers who had accompanied Peter were astounded that the gift of the Holy Spirit should have been poured out on the Gentiles also, for they could hear them speaking in tongues and glorifying God. Then Peter responded, "Can anyone withhold the water for baptizing these people, who have received the Holy Spirit even as we have?" He ordered them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Responsorial Psalm Ps 98:1, 2-3, 3-4 R. (cf. 2b) The Lord has revealed to the nations his saving power. Sing to the LORD a new song, for he has done wondrous deeds; His right hand has won victory for him, his holy arm. R. The Lord has revealed to the nations his saving power. The LORD has made his salvation known: in the sight of the nations he has revealed his justice. He has remembered his kindness and his faithfulness toward the house of Israel. R. The Lord has revealed to the nations his saving power. All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation by our God. Sing joyfully to the LORD, all you lands; break into song; sing praise. R. The Lord has revealed to the nations his saving power. Reading II 1 Jn 4:7-10 Beloved, let us love one another, because love is of God; everyone who loves is begotten by God and knows God. Whoever is without love does not know God, for God is love. In this way the love of God was revealed to us: God sent his only Son into the world so that we might have life through him. In this is love: not that we have loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as expiation for our sins.

4 Gospel Jn 15:9-17 Jesus said to his disciples: "As the Father loves me, so I also love you. Remain in my love. If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and remain in his love. (Ps 98,1-4) REFREN: Wobec narodów objawił zbawienie. Śpiewajcie Panu pieśń nową, albowiem uczynił cuda. Zwycięstwo Mu zgotowała Jego prawica i święte ramię Jego. Pan okazał swoje zbawienie, na oczach pogan objawił swoją sprawiedliwość. Wspomniał na dobroć i na wierność swoją dla domu Izraela. Ujrzały wszystkie krańce ziemi zbawienie Boga naszego. Wołaj z radości na cześć Pana, cała ziemio, cieszcie się, weselcie i grajcie. (1 J 4,7-10) Umiłowani, miłujmy się wzajemnie, poniewaŝ miłość jest z Boga, a kaŝdy, kto miłuje, narodził się z Boga i zna Boga. Kto nie miłuje, nie zna Boga, bo Bóg jest miłością. W tym objawiła się miłość Boga ku nam, Ŝe zesłał Syna swego Jednorodzonego na świat, abyśmy Ŝycie mieli dzięki Niemu. W tym przejawia się miłość, Ŝe nie my umiłowaliśmy Boga, ale Ŝe On sam nas umiłował i posłał Syna swojego jako ofiarę przebłagalną za nasze grzechy. "I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and your joy might be complete. This is my commandment: love one another as I love you. No one has greater love than this, to lay down one's life for one's friends. You are my friends if you do what I command you. I no longer call you slaves, because a slave does not know what his master is doing. I have called you friends, because I have told you everything I have heard from my Father. It was not you who chose me, but I who chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit that will remain, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name he may give you. This I command you: love one another." POLISH SAINTS Saint Maria Karlowska Written and researched by Margaret Odrowaz Sypniewska (J 14,23) Jeśli Mnie kto miłuje, będzie zachowywał moją naukę, a Ojciec mój umiłuje go, i do niego przyjdziemy. (J 15,9-17) Jezus powiedział do swoich uczniów: Jak Mnie umiłował Ojciec, tak i Ja was umiłowałem. Wytrwajcie w miłości mojej! Jeśli będziecie zachowywać moje przykazania, będziecie trwać w miłości mojej, tak jak Ja zachowałem przykazania Ojca mego i trwam w Jego miłości. To wam powiedziałem, aby radość moja w was była i aby radość wasza była pełna. To jest moje przykazanie, abyście się wzajemnie miłowali, tak jak Ja was umiłowałem. Nikt nie ma większej miłości od tej, gdy ktoś Ŝycie swoje oddaje za przyjaciół swoich. Wy jesteście przyjaciółmi moimi, jeŝeli czynicie to, co wam przykazuję. JuŜ was nie nazywam sługami, bo sługa nie wie, co czyni pan jego, ale nazwałem was przyjaciółmi, albowiem oznajmiłem wam wszystko, co usłyszałem od Ojca mego. Nie wyście Mnie wybrali, ale Ja was wybrałem i przeznaczyłem was na to, abyście szli i owoc przynosili, i by owoc wasz trwał - aby wszystko dał wam Ojciec, o cokolwiek Go poprosicie w imię moje. To wam przykazuję, abyście się wzajemnie miłowali. :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Maria Karlowska was born in Kartowo, Poland, on September 4, He was the daughter of pious parents and thus was taught her devotions to God.

Bolesław I Chroby was a remarkable politician, strategist and statesman. He was able to turn Poland into one of the largest and most powerful monarchies in eastern Europe. Boleslaw conducted successful military campaigns to the west, south and east. He consolidated the Polish lands and conquered territories outside of modern borders of Poland such as Slovakia, Moravia, Red Ruthenia, Meissen and Lusatia as well as Bohemia. He was a powerful mediator in Central European affairs. Boleslaw I was an ally of Holy Roman Emperor Otto III who may have crowned him rex, although opinions vary on that point. Following the death of Otto III in 1002, Boleslaw I conducted a series of successful wars against the Empire and Otto's heir Henry II the Saint ending with the Peace of Bautzen in In the summer of 1018, in one of his most famous expeditions, Boleslaw I captured Kiev, where, according to legend, he notched his sword when hitting Kiev's Golden Gate. Later, a sword known as szczerbiec, meaning notched sword, would become the ceremonial sword used in the coronation ceremony of Polish kings. Boleslaw I also managed to establish a Polish church structure with a Metropolitan See at Gniezno, independent of German Archbishopric of Magdeburg, which laid claims to the Polish area. During the famous Congress of Gniezno he was able to officially free himself of tribute to Germany and finally, in his most momentous act, he had himself crowned king, the first Polish ruler to do so. He was an able administrator, establishing the so-called prince s law, building numerous forts, churches, monasteries and bridges. Boleslaw Chrobry established the first Polish monetary system, of grzywna divided into 240 denarii [3], and minted his own coin. He is widely considered one of the most talented and accomplished of the Piast rulers. :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Z OSTATNIEJ CHWILI (PARISH NEWS) INTENCJE MSZALNE MASS INTENTIONS Saturday May16th Danilewicz Family 5:00pm Deceased members of the Sunday May 17 th 9:00am Micheline Troiano Sunday May 17 th 11:00am Maurycy Pietrzak on his Birthday Thursday May 21 st 7:00pm Linda Auger Saturday May 23 rd 5:00pm Souls in Purgatory

Within an hour and a half the attack was in motion in all four sectors. By daylight U.S. II Corps had made little progress, but their 5th Army colleagues, the French Corps, had achieved their objectives and were fanning out in the Aurunci Mountains towards the 8th Army to their right, rolling up the German positions between the two armies. On the 8th Army front, XIII Corps had made two strongly opposed crossings of the Rapido (by British 4th Infantry Division and 8th Indian Division). Crucially, the engineers of Dudley Russell's 8th Indian Division had by the morning succeeded in bridging the river enabling the armour of 1st Canadian Armoured Brigade to cross and provide the vital element (so missed by the Americans in the first battle and New Zealanders in the second battle) to beat off the inevitable counterattacks from German tanks that would come. In the mountains above Cassino for three days Polish infantry attacks made little progress and brought heavy losses to both sides; Col. Heilmann of 4th Parachute Regiment calling the destroyed town a "miniature Verdun." To this day the Polish effort is a source of great pride for the Polish Nation. By the afternoon of May 12, the Rapido bridgeheads were increasing despite furious counterattacks whilst the attrition on the coast and in the mountains continued. By May 13 the pressure was starting to tell. The German right wing began to give way to the 5th Army. The French Corps had captured Monte Maio and were now in a position to give material flank assistance to the 8th Army against whom Kesselring had thrown every available reserve in order to buy time to switch to his second prepared defensive position, the Hitler Line, some eight miles (13 km) to the rear. On May 14 Moroccan Goumiers, travelling through the mountains parallel to the Liri valley, ground which was undefended because it was not thought possible to traverse such terrain, outflanked the German defense materially assisting XIII Corps in the valley. In 1943 the Goumiers were colonial troops formed into four Groups of Moroccan Tabors (GTM), each consisting of three loosely organised Tabors (roughly equivalent to a battalion) specialised in mountain warfare. Juin's French Expeditionary Corps consisted of the Command of Moroccan Goumiers (CGM) (with the 1st, 3rd and 4th GTM) of General Augustin Guillaume [40] totalling some 7,800 fighting men, [41] broadly the same infantry strength as a division, and 4 more conventional divisions: the 2nd Moroccan Infantry Division (2 DIM), the 3rd Algerian Infantry Division (3 DIA), the 4th Moroccan Mountain Division (4 DMM) and the 1st Free French Division (1 DM). On May 15 British 78 Division came into the XIII Corps line from reserve passing through the bridgehead divisions to execute the turning move to isolate Cassino from the Liri valley.

As the new Director of Vocations, he will be recruiting, mentoring young men in the process of discernment and cheering them on. Father Rocha, who grew up in St. Joseph, Missouri had always dreamed of coaching football, even while hearing this constant, quiet voice calling him to something greater, the priesthood. It took 14 years for him to answer, while he lived his original dream of coaching. In 1996, he finally realized that it wasn t what he wanted, it was what God wanted. He made the decision to enter the seminary and study for the priesthood at the age of 34. He understands the uncertainty and rebellion many young men feel when they first think they hear the call. He also understands the power of prayer when it comes to vocations. My mother prayed every day for 14 years that I would become a priest, praying to St. Jude and Our Lady of Guadalupe, he said. I

7 On May 17 the Polish Division renewed their assault in the mountains By the early hours of May 18, 78 Division and the Polish Corps had linked up in the Liri valley 2 miles (3 km) west of Cassino town. In the early morning of May 18 a reconnaissance group of Polish 12th Podolian Uhlans Regiment found the monastery abandoned and raised an improvised regimental pennant over its ruins. The last German paratroops (said to be approximately 200 in number), with supply lines threatened by the advance up the Liri valley, had withdrawn the night before to take up new defensive positions on the Hitler Line. The only remnants of the defenders were a group of emaciated German wounded who had been too sick to move. ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: VARIAS IV MARSZ DLA śycia I RODZINY W WARSZAWIE had no chance. Father Rocha was ordained in He served as a parish priest for several years before being tapped by newly installed Bishop Robert Finn to serve as his Master of Ceremonies and secretary in He expects to use his experiences, as a high school and college football coach and as a priest to help young men discern and nurture their call to the priesthood. We re all on God s team, he said. In the years since his ordination, Father Rocha has learned that prayer is a huge component needed in our daily lives. We need prayer, to thank God for our blessings and to make requests, like praying for more vocations. We have to help young people develop the mindset of prayer. Staying close to God through prayer and the sacraments will help those called to priesthood or religious life to discern. Putting God first is huge, he said, developing prayer lives and having a spiritual direction. I hope to get that across to young men. He himself was drawn to the Eucharist, attending Mass with another coach occasionally at first then daily, wherever he was. It s important for a young man who thinks he might be called to the priesthood to stay close to God through prayer, the sacraments, especially the Eucharist, and adoration. He is excited about his new job, and is confident that although there will be challenges, the groundwork laid by current Vocations Director Father Steve Cook and his staff, Keith Jiron and Marilyn Schaeffer, will make the challenges simpler.

Idea imprezy nabiera szczególnej aktualności wobec zagroŝenia, jakie dla praw człowieka, rodziny i społeczeństwa stanowi kultura śmierci. Obrońcy Ŝycia i rodziny wyruszą o godzinie 12 z ulicy Nowy Świat (u zbiegu ul. Foksal i Chmielnej) i przejdą przez ulice: Krakowskie Przedmieście, Miodową, Świętojerską do Ogrodu Krasińskich. Tam, po zakończeniu marszu, odbędzie się koncert i piknik rodzinny. Organizatorzy zapraszają wszystkich, którzy opowiadają się za budową cywilizacji Ŝycia. Przyjdź z Rodziną i Przyjaciółmi! apelują.

Father Cook has put together quite a database of potential priests, which will be very helpful. Father Cook is returning to parish life; he will serve as pastor of St. Peter Parish in Kansas City. Father Rocha hopes to recruit more young men to the priesthood. Serving as Bishop Finn s secretary has given him a take on what the bishop wants for this diocese, and one of those is a greater number of vocations. It s important to plant the seed early. That s one reason why we have fifth grade Vocation Days, begun by Bishop Emeritus Raymond Boland in 1995, to interest and excite youngsters about the priesthood. We also need to plant the seed in parents, asking them to pray for a vocation for one of their own. That s a challenge, not just praying for vocations in general, but to pray that their son or daughter hears and heeds God s call. The Vocation Office has seen an increase in young men wanting to enter the seminary and study for the priesthood. There were six seminarians from this diocese in Five years later, there are 26 seminarians studying at seminaries across the country, including Conception Seminary College, St. Meinrad in Indiana, St. Gregory the Great in Nebraska, Mundelein in Illinois, Kenrick-Glennon in St. Louis and The North American College in Rome.

I don t plan on having an annual draft day for seminarians, Father Rocha said with a laugh. Right, each parish in the diocese required to send one of its young men to the draft and seminaries will take their pick. No. What we will do is suggest and ask. I ve heard of young men who considered the priesthood, but since no one ever asked them if they were thinking about it, the call went unanswered. But we have about six young men entering the seminary class next year. Father Rocha joked that with this new job, he was moving up, to the sixth floor of the Gillham Plaza Building next door to the Chancery. He looks forward to working with the Vocations Office staff and bringing in new recruits for God s team. ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Thousands attend recordbreaking Canadian March for Life Sygnatariusze apelu stwierdzają, Ŝe władze publiczne są zobowiązane przepisem Konstytucji RP do ochrony i opieki nad rodziną, takŝe ochrony przed zgorszeniem.

Ottawa, Canada, May 16, 2009 / 10:16 am (CNA).- An estimated 12,000 Canadians gathered on Parliament Hill in Ottawa on Thursday to rally and march against legalized abortion in Canada. The participants, part of the Canadian 2009 March for Life, included 18 Members of Parliament. Their numbers exceeded last year s record-setting turnout of about 8,000. Jim Hughes, president of the Campaign Life Coalition which organizes the march, said the turnout was "a real blessing," especially in the crowd s "growing number of young people." The March has taken place annually for 12 years, LifeSiteNews.com reports. Events began with interdenominational prayer services at the Canadian Reformed Church and St. George s Anglican Church, while Masses were celebrated at Notre Dame Basilica and St. Patrick s Basilica. About 900 people attended the Mass at St. Patrick s Basilica, while over 1,100 crowded into St. Patrick s Basilica. About 200 additional people watched each Mass from the basement of each church due to lack of space. According to LifeSiteNews.com, Hughes said he was "especially pleased" by the show of support from the Canadian Catholic bishops, with at least 12 bishops celebrating the Masses. The 2009 March marks the first time the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops has given its official support for the event. Abortion has been legal in Canada for 40 years.

To jedna z największych na świecie organizacji naleŝących do lobby homoseksualnego, skupiająca się na edukacji. Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network działa niezwykle pręŝnie. Prowadzi setki szkoleń dla nauczycieli, którzy potem indoktrynują swoich uczniów, a takŝe organizuje "Dzień Milczenia", mający zwrócić uwagę na rzekome przemilczenie rzekomego problemu dyskryminacji homoseksualistów. Sponsorami organizacji są m. in. bank inwestycyjny Goldman Sachs, Kodak, Fundacja Forda, IBM, Ernst&Young, Cisco Systems, Daimler Chrysler i Time Warner - czytamy na portalu fronda.pl. Oto niektóre ze stwierdzeń programu edukacyjnego dla szkół: Skala postaw homofobicznych dr Riddle: 1) Odraza - homoseksualizm jest postrzegany jako "przestępstwo przeciw naturze". Homoseksualiści/lesbijki są chorzy, szaleni, niemoralni, grzeszni, haniebni itp. KaŜdy środek, by ich zmienić jest usprawiedliwiony: więzienie, hospitalizacja, terapia behawioralna, terapia wstrząsami elektrycznymi itp. 2) Litość - heteroseksualny szowinizm. Uznanie, Ŝe heteroseksualizm jest bardziej dojrzały i powinien być preferowany. Uznanie, Ŝe kaŝda szansa na "stanie się heretykiem" powinna być wzmacniana, a tym, którzy urodzili się homoseksualistami naleŝy współczuć - "tym biedakom". 3) Tolerancja - homoseksualizm jest tylko fazą w dojrzewaniu nastolatka, którą przechodzi wielu ludzi i większość z niej "wyrasta". Zatem homoseksualiści/lesbijki są mniej dojrzali niŝ "heretycy" i powinni być chronieni i traktowani z pobłaŝliwością, jak dzieci. Lesbijki/homoseksualiści nie powinni być obdarowywani władzą, poniewaŝ nadal mają w sobie wiele zachowań nastolatka. 4) Akceptacja - postawa nadal sugerująca, Ŝe jest coś, co trzeba akceptować. Charakteryzują ją takie sformułowania jak: "Nie traktuję Cię jak lesbijkę, lecz jak osobę!", lub "Co robisz w łóŝku to twoja sprawa", lub "Akceptuję to, jak długo nie próbujesz mi tego narzucać/nie afiszujesz się z tym." Conference planned to help students speak the truth on natural marriage San Diego, Calif., May 16, 2009 / 04:40 am (CNA).- A student conference on the importance of marriage and its defense is scheduled to take place this August in San Diego. It aims to bring together students and faculty who support natural marriage to help educate and motivate a new generation. The conference, titled It takes a family to raise a village, is co-sponsored by the Ruth Institute and the National Organization for Marriage. It will be held at the University of San Diego from August 6 to 9 and is free to accepted students. Some travel assistance is also available. An announcement for the conference says it will provide students with an intense weekend in the company of top scholars from various disciplines to discuss the social significance of marriage and the family. Students will interact with like-minded students and faculty from across the faith traditions that support natural marriage. Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse, founder and president of the Ruth Institute, will be among the scholars participating in the conference. The conference says it will motivate students to understand the urgency for defending natural marriage and help them realize that marriage between a man and a woman is more natural and practical. It also promises to help students believe that it is fun to be on the side of marriage. A May 8 newsletter from the National Organization for Marriage connected the conference to the attacks on Miss California Carrie Prejean, who was targeted for criticism for making comments supporting marriage between a man and a woman during her appearance in a beauty pageant. This young woman is not being smeared and attacked for anything she did wrong; she is being viciously attacked for one great thing she did right, the National Organization for Marriage newsletter said. We need more young men and women with courage--and a community that backs them up, it continued, saying the conference would help people to stand up to the bullies and to speak for truth on hostile territory such as college campuses. Applications for the conference are due May 25. More information on the conference and conference applications are available at the Ruth Institute web site,

11 Kard. Canizares: Komunia św. w postawie klęczącej oznacza szacunek dla Boga Kardynał Antonio Cañizares, mianowany niedawno prefektem Kongregacji ds. Kultu BoŜego i Dyscypliny Sakramentów, jest ciągle jeszcze administratorem apostolskim archidiecezji Toledo. Tam właśnie, podczas Wielkiego Tygodnia, kardynał przywrócił do uŝywania balaski w katedrze i zachęcał wiernych do przyjmowania Komunii św. na klęcząco i do ust podaje Sanctus.pl. Portal przypomina, Ŝe klęczniki do przyjmowania Komunii św. zostały niedawno wprowadzone w dwóch innych hiszpańskich katedrach w Maladze, począwszy od Mszy św. KrzyŜma oraz w diecezji Sił Zbrojnych w Madrycie. W ubiegłym tygodniu na nowego arcybiskupa Toledo mianowany został abp Braulio Rodríguez. Kardynał Cañizares przed opuszczeniem archidiecezji udzielił wywiadu hiszpańskiej gazecie ABC. Oto pytanie dotyczące przyjmowania Komunii świętej: Kilka dni temu Eminencja zachęcał wiernych do przyjmowania Komunii św. na klęcząco. Czy Kościół poprzez reformę liturgii w ten sposób zbliŝa się do człowieka? Kardynał Cañizares: Komunia św. w postawie klęczącej oznacza szacunek dla Boga, to jest serce człowieka, które uniŝa się przed Tym, kto miłuje go aŝ do końca. To są waŝne znaki nie chodzi o zmiany dla samych zmian, istotne jest poszukiwanie całościowego znaczenia i przezwycięŝanie sekularyzacji obecnego świata. Jednym z celów naszej Kongregacji [KBiDS] jest zrealizowanie w tym roku wielkiej kampanii formacji liturgicznej. :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: KL Warschau. Niemcy nie przebierali w środkach Eric Rassbach, National Litigation Director for the Becket Fund, said in a press release. However, the Becket Fund acknowledged that Lynch s proposal would not protect small business owners such as an Arizona photographer who faces a fine for refusing to photograph a same-sex ceremony. The protections reportedly will only cover the solemnization, celebration or promotion of same-sex "marriage." The Becket Fund said the proposal would protect individuals and institutions "in some instances." Kevin Smith, executive director of Cornerstone Policy Research, characterized Lynch s religious liberty proposal as a "smoke screen" providing cover for his change of opinion. "There are people with very deeply held convictions on this issue who are now going to have their conscience violated," Smith told the Concord Monitor. He added that the proposed modification "seems like a rather disingenuous attempt on the part of the governor to try and couch his actions today and say it's some sort of compromise. It isn't." "The folks who are not protected are your individual business owners, caterers, photographers, who now will be forced to provide these services for same-sex weddings," he also said, according to the Boston Globe. The Associated Press reports that New Hampshire Republican Party Chairman John H. Sununu also criticized Lynch, saying: "Once again, Gov. Lynch has discovered a way to be against something and for it at the same time." In a May 7 statement, Bishop of Manchester John B. McCormack opposed the proposal, saying "We believe that we should be doing all we can as a society to support and protect marriage, which is a union of a man and woman and has been throughout history." He said the bill would "redefine marriage on the run" with the "slimmest of legislative margins." His comments, made before religious liberty protections were proposed, also emphasized the need to secure religious liberties. Bishop McCormack warned "unintended consequences" of the proposal would lead to "unnecessary confusion, litigation and denial of rights to many people in our state." ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Pro-Obama political operators trying to divide Catholics, George Weigel claims George Weigel

14 Potwierdził to równieŝ dr hab. Bogdan Musiał z Biura Edukacji Publicznej IPN. W rozmowie z nami przyznał, Ŝe gdy usłyszał cytat o polskim esesmańskim obozie zagłady w Sobiborze, włosy zjeŝyły mu się na głowie. Z jego obserwacji wynika, Ŝe lektura niemieckich gazet w kontekście sprawy ekstradycji Demjaniuka wywołuje wraŝenie, iŝ Niemcy skutecznie ścigają zbrodniarzy wojennych, z którymi to zbrodniami nie mają nic wspólnego, o czym świadczą teksty o polskich obozach i zbrodniarzu ukraińskim. Taki jest właśnie przekaz w niemieckiej prasie stwierdził polski historyk. I dodał, Ŝe gdy czyta liczne relacje dotyczące Demjaniuka, to jest zdumiony, iŝ nie ma w nich nic o zbrodniach niemieckich. Berliński adwokat Stefan Hambura stwierdził, Ŝe juŝ najwyŝszy czas, aby polski rząd nie ograniczał się tylko do Ŝądania sprostowań, ale zaczął występować w podobnych sprawach na drogę prawną. Saarbruecker Zeitung nie jest jedyną gazetą, która pisząc podobne fałszerstwa, przy okazji obraŝa nasz kraj. O polskim obozie zagłady w Sobiborze napisały wczoraj takŝe niemiecki dziennik Der Freitag, portal informacyjny a takŝe portal internetowy Waldemar Maszewski ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: O, kraju mój... Płynę do ciebie po nocy, Kraju mój, śpiewny, uroczy, Tam chmurki drŝały z tkliwością A wiatr kołysał serdecznie- O kraju mój, tyś mą miłością Wiecznie Tam był nasz dom i olszyny, Cerkiewka stara i młyny, I bzy w liliowej poświecie, O których pieśni mówiły, śe najpiękniejsze są w świecie- Bo były. Tam - tajemnicze moczary, I cmentarz, przy nim dąb stary, I napoliński gościniec, Zarosły czasu wikliną, Mówiono o nim, Ŝe płynie, Bo płynął... Poeci przeszli tamtędy, Zmienili ziemię w legendy, Gdzie spojrzeć, tam wschodzą słowa, Gdzie dotknąć, tam harfa jęknie, O moja ziemio widmowa, śnij pięknie. KaŜdy skądś przecie pochodzi, Ten z Krymu, ten z Walji, ten z Łodzi, A ja pochodzę odmłodu Z białośpiewnego ogrodu, Z doliny, olszyn i rzeki Dalekiej. MoŜna mnie stamtąd wyrzucić, MoŜna mi kazać nie wrócić, MoŜna mnie z Ŝywych wymazać, Wygnać, przepędzić za płoty, Ale jak moŝna zakazać Tęsknoty? Amman was historic -- he's now the first pope to have visited two Muslim places of worship. At the same time, the pope was not in Jordan simply to bless official efforts at dialogue. His aim was to reach a wider audience and provoke some thinking. His speech to Muslim leaders in Amman thus returned to the theme of faith and reason, which caused such controversy at Regensburg, Germany, in 2006; this time, he chose his words carefully, but continued to insist that religion detached from reason is susceptible to "ideological manipulation" that can provoke tensions and violence in society. His approach was to build bridges by affirming the moderate voices in Islam. When he spoke, for example, of the "fundamental contradiction of resorting to violence or exclusion in the name of God," he cited Muslim messages from recent years. For most people, of course, papal visits work on a less intellectual level. The pope may have won the most friends in Jordan simply by wearing on his shoulders a Jordanian kaffiyeh or "shmagh," a red-and-white-checked head scarf that for many people has political overtones. When the pope landed in Israel May 11, the interreligious dimension of his trip suddenly got complicated. He began by honoring the memory of the 6 million Jews killed in the Holocaust and denouncing anti-semitism. The same day he paid a visit to the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial, where he met with six Holocaust survivors and spoke movingly of the tragedy of the victims. All this was designed to re-establish Pope Benedict as a friend of Judaism and the Jews. But the reviews were mixed, mainly because the pope, a native of Germany who lived under the Nazi regime, did not speak at the memorial about the perpetrators of the Holocaust. Vatican officials pointed out that the pope has spoken on several previous occasions about the Nazi crimes against humanity. That may be true, but Yad Vashem illustrated that Pope Benedict's reserved style and his reluctance to share publicly his own personal experiences can sometimes deflate an otherwise emotional moment. The pope's interreligious dialogue encounter the same evening was unfortunately derailed by a Muslim sheik's denunciation of Israeli policies, which prompted Jewish representatives to walk out. And with that, the pope was knee-deep in the politics of the region. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict touches every aspect of life in the Holy Land, so it should have been no surprise that the pope got an earful wherever he went. Especially in the West Bank city of Bethlehem, on his one full day in Palestinian territory, speaker after speaker -- including church leaders -- denounced the Israeli occupation, the travel and economic restrictions, the destruction of homes and the political detainees. The pope walked a finer line. On one hand he sympathized with Palestinians and strongly defended their right to an independent state; on the other hand, he spoke of "turmoil" rather than "occupation" and appealed to Palestinian youths to overcome bitterness and reject terrorism -- words that Israeli officials were no doubt happy to hear.

15 Nie martwy księŝyc tam wraca, To cień mój wodę ozłaca, Nie woda w młynie tam szumie, To Ŝal mój śpiewa jak umie, I woła gorzką pociechą, Jak echo. I płynę, płynę po nocy Do ciebie, kraju uroczy. Tam chmurki drŝały z czułością, A wiatr kołysał bezpiecznie- O kraju mój, tyś mą miłością Wiecznie. Stanisław Baliński He denounced the 26-foot-high Israeli security wall that cuts through the West Bank like a concrete scar, calling it one of the "saddest sights" of his visit and a tragic symbol of Israeli-Palestinian relations. But even here, he was careful to avoid blame, referring to "the hostilities that have caused this wall to be built" rather than the "oppression" that his Palestinian hosts loudly condemned. The pope's method was the moral prodding of a pilgrim. When he met with Israeli President Shimon Peres, for example, he explored the Hebrew scriptural meaning of "security" as not just the lack of threat but the building of trust. The pope did more than preach in the Holy Land. He also did a lot of listening, his aides said. For every papal speech, there were three or four speeches from his hosts. "I think that gave him a much deeper knowledge of the situation and problems of the Holy Land and the Middle East," said the Vatican spokesman, Jesuit Father Federico Lombardi. Of the visit's many remarkable moments, one stood out: At an interfaith encounter in Nazareth, the pope and other Christian, Muslim, Jewish and Druze leaders held hands in prayer as a psalm of peace was sung -- a small but significant achievement on his pilgrim's path.
